Making second salaam before the Imaam.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Fatwa-TT.com
Question:

If a person makes the second salaam before the Imaam, will the Salaah be complete or will the Salaah have to be repeated?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

If the Muqtadi (follower) said the second Salaam before the Imaam, the Salaah will be valid and there will be no need to repeat it. This will be the case also (but Makrooh Tahrimi) if the Muqtadi made the first Salaam before the Imaam, after completing Tashahhud[1].

However, it must be noted that it is not permissible for the Muqtadi (follower) to precede the Imaam in any actions of Salaah.

The Holy Prophetﷺ said: “The Imam is appointed so that he should be followed, so bow down after he bows down, and rise up after he rises up”(Muslim)

(قَوْلُهُ لَوْ أَتَمَّهُ إلَخْ) أَيْ لَوْ أَتَمَّ الْمُؤْتَمُّ التَّشَهُّدَ، بِأَنْ أَسْرَعَ فِيهِ وَفَرَغَ مِنْهُ قَبْلَ إتْمَامِ إمَامَهُ فَأَتَى بِمَا يُخْرِجُهُ مِنْ الصَّلَاةِ كَسَلَامٍ أَوْ كَلَامٍ أَوْ قِيَامٍ جَازَ: أَيْ صَحَّتْ صَلَاتُهُ لِحُصُولِهِ بَعْدَ تَمَامِ الْأَرْكَانِ لِأَنَّ الْإِمَامَ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَتَمَّ التَّشَهُّدَ لَكِنَّهُ قَعَدَ قَدْرَهُ لِأَنَّ الْمَفْرُوضَ مِنْ الْقَعْدَةِ قَدْرُ أَسْرَعَ مَا يَكُونُ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ التَّشَهُّدِ وَقَدْ حَصَلَ، وَإِنَّمَا كُرِهَ لِلْمُؤْتَمِّ ذَلِكَ لِتَرْكِهِ مُتَابَعَةَ الْإِمَامِ بِلَا عُذْرٍ

 

ذَكَرْنَا في بَابِ صِفَةِ الصَّلَاةِ أَنَّ الْوَاجِبَ منه التَّسْلِيمَةُ الْأُولَى وَهِيَ السَّلَامُ دُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ

وفي الْبَدَائِعِ إنه لو سَلَّمَ عن يَسَارِهِ أَوَّلًا لَا سَهْوَ عليه لِأَنَّهُ تَرَكَ السُّنَّةَ

وفي الظَّهِيرِيَّةِ وإذا سَلَّمَ الرَّجُلُ عن يَمِينِهِ وَسَهَا عن التَّسْلِيمَةِ الْأُخْرَى فما دَامَ في الْمَسْجِدِ يَأْتِي بِالْأُخْرَى وَإِنْ اسْتَدْبَرَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَعَامَّةُ الْمَشَايِخِ على أَنَّهُ لَا يَأْتِي مَتَى اسْتَدْبَرَ الْقِبْلَةَ ا هـ (البحر 103/2
